Resource Based Policy Match

Resource Based Policy Match will take a matching process and then use Netwrix Privilege Secure to perform a whole activity set, like creating a new Domain Admin account.

In this example we will launch MMC Active Directory Users and Computers as EastSalesUser1, but Netwrix Privilege Secure will broker the connection and actually launch the process as a domain admin.

Resource Based Policy Matches tie back to a specific Netwrix Privilege Secure Activity Name.

Here on the Netwrix Privilege Secure server, locate the Policy and verify that the name is an exact match.

Then, to match a specific process configure the Endpoint Policy Manager Least Privilege Manager policy as a Combo rule:

  • Path condition: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\mmc.exe
  • Command-line condition: Strict Equality for dsa.msc

Now whenever mmc.exe dsa.msc is run from the command line, Endpoint Policy Manager Least Privilege Manager will send the connection back to Netwrix Privilege Secure for processing.

You’ll run the command as EastSalesUser1, and give your Active Directory credentials, Two-Factor (brokered by Netwrix Privilege Secure), and wait for the Activity Session to be created.

The result is that a new Domain Admin account is created for this one session and deleted after use.
